I live in the Chicago area, and have a 4-year old Cedar Deck.
First, I used a Behr product on it which peeled after 9 months.
Hired someone to sand, strip deck and applied Cabot ATO which
looked great, but faded after 18 months, as expected. Re-applied
Cabot ATO and it is fading again after 18 months.
I am looking for something which will last longer than Cabot ATO. Based
on reading some information from pros on the internet, I have decided
on sealing the deck with Rymar Xtreme Weather which is manufactured
in Wisconsin, and available locally. (Other recommendations are welcome)
I need advice on a cleaner and neutralizer that I can use prior to
applying Rymar. I have read that Restore-A-Deck is good, and have
attempted to contact them without success. Also, I prefer to purchase
products locally provided the products are high quality and will work for
my application. I have access to Benjamin Moore, Sherwin Williams, Lowes,
Home Depot, Menards, as well as other suppliers in the Chicago area.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks
